Sir:
I have to advise you that in the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, R.4066, it is alleged that Benjamin Glines enlisted at Canterbury, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, in 1780, and served as a private in Captain Clough's New Hampshire Company.
He enlisted in 1813 in Captain Goodnough's Company and died at Plattsburg, New York, in the winter of 1813, while in the service.
He married at Sandbornton, New Hampshire, September 18, 1787, Lovoy Leavit, both of Northampton, New Hampshire. When 77 years of age she applied for pension on account of his services in the Revolutionary War but her claim was not allowed as the rolls show that he served five months and twenty-nine days and the pension laws require a service of at least six months.
There is no further family data on file.
Respectfully,
Acting Commissioner
